1'''Basic Trope''': An enemy takes you back to the beginning of the level instead of killing you.
2* '''Straight''': A mook grabs Bob and carries him out of the BigBad's castle.
3* '''Exaggerated''': The mook carries Bob from TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon to the [[FirstTown start of the game]].
4* '''Downplayed''': The mook just takes Bob back to the last SavePoint.
5* '''Justified''':
6** The mook knows that if he directly fought Bob, he'd lose.
7** The mook is a bouncer.
8** Bob isn't allowed in the area, but the mook doesn't have authority to kill him, leading to a stealth sequence where the player has to avoid the MookBouncer to progress.
9* '''Inverted''':
10** Bob grabs the mook and carries him out of the castle.
11** The mook carries Bob to the BigBad's throne room.
12* '''Subverted''':
13** The mook drops Bob.
14** Alternatively, Bob is too heavy for the mook to carry, causing the mook to give up and leave.
15* '''Double Subverted''':
16** The mook realizes he's not carrying Bob, and quickly returns to grab him.
17** He returns, with friends.
18* '''Parodied''': The mook carries Bob back to the womb and Bob needs to replay his entire life.
19* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
20* '''Averted''': All the mooks in the castle try to kill Bob.
21* '''Enforced''': NeverSayDie
22* '''Lampshaded''': "These mooks will never kill you, so don't bother bringing any potions!"
23* '''Invoked''': A GenreSavvy Character sets up a situation where the trope can occur.
24* '''Exploited''': After defeating the LoadBearingBoss, Bob uses the Mook Bouncers to quickly escape the collapsing castle.
25* '''Defied''': The mook tries to grab Bob, only for Bob to shoot him.
26* '''Discussed''': "Why don't these mooks just kill us?"
27* '''Discussed''': ???
28* '''Conversed''': ???
29* '''Deconstructed''': The mook is fired and/or executed by the BigBad for throwing Bob out of the castle instead of simply killing him.
30* '''Reconstructed''': Then mooks carry him out of the level.
31* '''Played For Laughs''': The mooks kick anything they touch out of the level, including each other, resulting in a huge wall of mooks at the entrance that prevents Bob from entering.
32* '''Played For Drama''': Bob was pulled out away from his dying sister Alice who desperately need medicine from him.
